Xu Wei, who was waiting outside, had been itching to get started. After Gu Yiming entered the office, she hid by the door and eavesdropped. Just as she expected, Gu Yiming was indeed enraged upon seeing those things. Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Xu Wei felt a surge of excitement.

She made herself a cup of coffee, applied some lipstick, and unbuttoned the second button of her shirt, deliberately revealing half of her ample bosom. Then, with a bright and captivating expression, she carried the coffee to Gu Yiming's office.

"President, I made you some coffee to help you relax. May I come in?"

A sweet, soft voice rang out from outside the door, sending a shiver down one's spine. Gu Yiming frowned, about to refuse, but then realized he was indeed feeling sleepy. He pursed his lips slightly and said calmly, "Come in."

Overjoyed to receive a response, Xu Wei entered the room with a captivating and shy look in her eyes. Upon entering, she noticed the papers scattered all over the floor and smiled inwardly. It seemed the CEO was unusually angry; she had long heard that Gu Yiming hated women deceiving him, and it must be true.

Thinking she had a chance, she walked up to Gu Yiming, deliberately lowering her body, her soft breasts almost spilling out, incredibly alluring. Even her voice was more seductive than usual, sweet and alluring: "President, please don't be angry. Miss Jiang didn't mean to hide it from you. If you ask her properly, maybe she'll explain it to you clearly."

She said this only to let Gu Yiming know that she was more understanding and better able to please him than Jiang Hua. But Gu Yiming didn't even glance at the figure she deliberately revealed; instead, he was pondering Xu Wei's words.

Even his own assistant told him he should have a serious talk with Jiang Hua, so he was definitely going to do it. Ignoring the fact that he hadn't finished his work, Gu Yiming grabbed a photo and headed out.

"Please organize the data on the computer again; we'll need it for tomorrow's meeting. Your suggestion is good; you can go to the Ministry of Finance to collect your bonus."

Gu Yiming quickly disappeared from Xu Wei's sight, leaving her somewhat bewildered. When she came to her senses, she realized what she had said wrong. After angrily stomping her foot, Xu Wei decided to focus on her work.

When Gu Yiming arrived home, he found her still fast asleep in her room. Thinking she hadn't slept well, he couldn't bear to wake her. Seeing that it was almost dinnertime, Gu Yiming reluctantly rolled up his sleeves and started cooking for her.

Soon, a rich aroma filled the air, whetting Jiang Hua's appetite as she still slept. Still half-asleep, she rubbed her eyes and got out of bed to go to the kitchen. Seeing a tall, aloof figure, she paused, slightly surprised. Gu Yiming? When did he get back?

"You're awake? Wash your hands and eat. I have something to tell you." Gu Yiming turned around casually and found Jiang Hua behind him. He glanced at her indifferently and said expressionlessly.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat silent; both of them were engrossed in their food and didn't speak to each other. After the food was almost completely eaten, Jiang Hua wiped her mouth and asked, "Didn't you say you had something to tell me? What is it?"

She has a habit of not talking much while eating, probably influenced by her good upbringing. So even in the deathly silence just now, she didn't feel awkward.

Gu Yiming silently placed the photos he had retrieved in front of her, the meaning clear: he wanted her to clarify that she had never loved Ye Mucheng. He could believe her about everything else.

Knowing that Gu Yiming would investigate her, Jiang Hua simply told him what had happened. She had always believed that Ye Mucheng had gone abroad for resources and with her father's financial support. Later, she realized it was all a misunderstanding, which is why she waited for him so long and used everyone she could.

Fearing that a simple explanation wouldn't be clear enough, and besides, she didn't intend to hide her feelings for Ye Mucheng. Jiang Hua sighed, stood up, and walked closer to Gu Yiming, her eyes filled with affection as she said, "I admit, I used to really like Ye Mucheng, and I was even determined to marry him. But I don't think that way anymore."

Seeing the change in Gu Yiming's eyes, Jiang Hua pressed her advantage and continued to play the emotional card: "Because I've already fallen for someone new, and I plan to skip all the plot and head straight for marriage. Although I get a little jealous, I'm still quite cute."

Jiang Hua's eyes crinkled with laughter, reflecting the slightly stunned expression on someone's face. She resembled a cunning wolf, wagging her tail happily, teasing an innocent little lamb. Little did she know, this little lamb was even more beastly than she was.

The person she was referring to, Gu Yiming, instantly knew she was talking about him. An unusual blush rose to his ears, then spread across his handsome face. His already fair complexion, even more so than most men's, was now flushed with a delicate pink, making him exceptionally pleasing to the eye.

The atmosphere was excessively ambiguous, and Gu Yiming blushed for the first time under Jiang Hua's intense gaze. Before Jiang Hua could tease him, he hurriedly got up.

Rudely clearing away the dishes, Gu Yiming glared at Jiang Hua, who was still laughing, and gritted his teeth, saying, "I won't let this go easily. Clean up and come help me wash the dishes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly walked towards the sink, but his back view looked more like Luo Huan fleeing.

Seeing this unusual side of the cold-faced CEO for the first time, Jiang Hua found it amusing. However, she didn't intend to continue teasing him, since she would be the one in the worst position if she angered him.

Now that she had already gotten the better deal, she naturally wanted to play the innocent. After cleaning up the remaining dishes, Jiang Hua happily followed Gu Yiming to wash them.

"President Gu, are you calmed down yet?" Jiang Hua shamelessly leaned closer to Gu Yiming and asked in a flirtatious tone.

Gu Yiming snorted coldly. So easily appeased? She's probably been spoiled rotten and doesn't know how to please him anymore.

"Since that's the case, I have no choice but to throw myself into your arms." She shrugged helplessly, used her foamy hands to turn his face towards her, and then tiptoed to kiss him.

Gu Yiming's expression shifted slightly, and a hint of a smile finally appeared in his eyes. Well, he's not entirely hopeless.

There was a sweet smell in the air, I couldn't tell if it was the smell of dish soap foam or the smell of Jiang Hua's lips.

In the early morning, a sweet scent filled the air, and a thin mist enveloped City A. It was the start of a day, and it gave off a peaceful feeling.

Gu Jingtian still vividly remembered the few teasing remarks Jiang Hua made to him yesterday. In the entryway, Jiang Hua, looking sleepy, watched him leave after breakfast, just as she always did.

Just as she was about to step forward to help him tie his slightly messy tie, Gu Jingtian jerked away. Jiang Hua was a little confused, and it took her a while to return her hand, which had been awkwardly hanging in mid-air. She tilted her head and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
